         date dt1=date.today();
        date dt2=date.valueOf(CreatedDate);
        String query='select id,name, DOB__c from Contact where dt2<=dt1';
          return  database.getQueryLocator(query);
        // we can query upto 50 million records
    }
    global void execute(Database.BatchableContext jobid,list<Contact> scope)

        List<Contact> ctc=new List<Contact>();
        //Contact c=new Contact();
